Actually, about 90% of people on here call them Thrash.

hahahah what a dumbass, slayer is thrash metal

the " nu metal " that i listen to seems to be slower than metal core. nu metal.. ex.. korn, disturbed,slipknot, otep.... metal core... ex... . black dahlia murder.. atreyu... from autumn to ashes...

[QUOTE=Phil Anselmo]is metalcore the same thing as nu-metal?[/QUOTE]

No, they're different things. If you go to the Punk forum, there's a stickied thread (I think) called Hardcore/Metalcore Education.

metalcore is more like avenged sevenfold and stuff like that

A more heavy metal-oriented offshoot of hardcore punk, metalcore developed in the 1990's, perhaps exemplified by Hatebreed. In most cases, metalcore combines the heavy, crunching riffs of 90's metal with screamed vocals and often politically charged lyrical content.

Like most forms of heavy metal music metalcore is sometimes loosely or arbitrarily defined.

Other proponents include Converge, All Out War, Integrity, Zao, Poison the Well, Botch, Norma Jean Creation is Crucifixion, Dillinger Escape Plan, Daughters and Eighteen Visions.

like atreyu etc

Beyond the pronouced hip-hop influence, Nu Metal has--like most forms of heavy metal music--proven somewhat difficult to define. Some fans and musicians have a firm concept of genre and subgenre, but others reject such categorization as unnessesary, limiting or useless. There is often significant crossover from one category to another, and often the influence of non-metal music.

Some heavy metal fans do not consider nu metal a form of heavy metal music at all, arguing the genre is too diluted from what they consider "true" heavy metal, further noting that nu metal guitarists typically forgo traditional metal guitar technique, including both soloing and the riff style most associated with the older styles of metal. Other heavy metal fans, however, reject these arguments, citing rock music's long history of incorporating disparate elements--including jazz, experimental music and world music--out of curiosity or genuine appreciation for other musical genres.

While Deftones and Korn are typically cited as the genre's instigators, bands like Faith No More, Rage Against The Machine and Cubanate are cited as progenitors. Some fans have noted the influence of even earlier artists, such as Prong and Tool.

Sounds like a load of bullsh*t from allmusic.com or somewhere, confusing cultural definitions with musical definitions.

Heavy metal is driven by riffs! This definition alone can include everything from Helloween to Darkthrone. Mallcore like Korn and Linkin Park doesn't even know the word "riff". A lot of punk rock is a lot heavier than those, yet no-one considers them metal - especially hardcore punk ie. Discharge, The Exploited, Sick of it All... Mallcore is merely driven by vocals/chords - that's rock, not metal. 90s noise-plagued, scream-filled, modern rock. Whoever invented "everything with distortion is heavy metal" is no Edison. If you have a more useful definition, by all means present it.

And if you consider The Roots groove-laden music as rap, then why not also RATM?

What about . . . ?
 

Goth metal and Alt-metal? :confused: I don't mean to be a prick or anything, just asking . . . I kinda think in this one goth was pretty much wrapped up in black metal. That's what it seems like to me.


Just in case anyone's wondering what I mean, goth metal, to me, is Blind Guardian and such. (If anyone's already addressed this issue, you can ignore this post; I was just too lazy to read all the posts. *LOL*)

blind guardian? goth metal? nah i call their genre fantasy metal. goth metal?? hmm cradle of filth... not many others come to mind at this moment....

Blind Guardian are power metal, and Cradle of Filth are black metal (though if rumours are true, they're playing melodic death now). Goth metal is bands like later Paradise Lost, Lacuna Coil, Type O Negative, I think.

i put blind guardian and opeth in the same category... maybe im weird i donno, what are some bands that are similiar to them?

type o would be considered goth metal, would it not?

that or goth rock, whichever you prefer. some people might not consider them any kind of metal, which could be understandable

[QUOTE=atreyu_breakingbenjamin]ok what specifically would lamb of god be defined as.........just a quick question[/QUOTE]

Metalcore

[QUOTE=bob the ripper apple.]i put blind guardian and opeth in the same category... maybe im weird i donno, what are some bands that are similiar to them?[/QUOTE]
Considering I love one of them, and consider the other as one of the worst bands ever, I doubt they barely have any similarities.

between the buried and me? metalcore? i think they are belong in the same genre of glass casket. whatever it may be, but my opinion isnt metalcore.

alright this topic has confused me. these are my favorite bands, i dont what to call my music now now. i would just usually metal/hardcore +or- some of the screamo, fata)

all that remains, avenged sevenfold, atreyu, btbam,glass casket, killswitch engage, unearth, since the flood, f.a.t.a., poisne the well, shadows fall, amon amarth, in flames, . and older stuff metallica, black sabbath led zepps

i still call myself metalcore/hardcore, but this thread has changed the titles around, not that it matters, i just dont wanna have to explain who i like when i asked, i could just give the title

Da.mn a lot of people lately seem to confuse goth with power...
